"Made from a blend of Merlot (70%) and Cabernet Franc, this deep garnet wine with violet highlights delighted the tasters. As intense as it is elegant, the nose reveals a complex palette of red fruits, blackcurrant, prune, fig, spices, and dried fruits. On the palate, it is supported by dense yet rounded tannins—an iron fist in a velvet glove—and offers a pleasant return of fruit on the finish. Well-structured and persistent, this is a delicious wine that will age gracefully." (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2018)

Review and opinion by Mr. OLIVIER L. Published on 06/27/2018
Rather disappointing for a Buzet, not bad of course, but I found it rather ordinary. Perhaps my palate isn't refined enough...
